router-interface

Binds a router interface to a tunnel or bridge domain.

Syntax

router-interface ve num

no router-interface

Command Default

A router interface is not configured.

Parameters

ve num: Specifies a virtual interface number on the router.

Modes

Bridge domain configuration mode

Tunnel interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Note

You cannot enable routing on a VPLS instance when the vc-mode option on the PW attached to the instance is set to raw.

When routing is enabled on a VPLS instance that has only one PW and no local endpoints, the VPLS instance is brought to an active state; this state enables routing when the next hop is the PW endpoint.

The no form of the command removes the router interface configuration.

On the MCT bridge-domain VE interface, you can enable routing protocols, such as IS-IS IPv4 or IPv6, OSPF v2 or v3, and BGP IPv4 or IPv6.

Examples

The following example shows how to attach a virtual router interface to a tunnel.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface tunnel 5
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# mode gre ip
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# source 10.1.1.10
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# source ve 4
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# destination 10.1.1.11
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# router-interface ve 3

The following example shows how to bind a virtual router interface to a bridge domain.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# bridge-domain 100
device(config-bridge-domain-100)# router-interface ve 100
